You can use an aggregated build (they are here), you have nothing to compile, it's already done for you, you just have to put some JARs into a directory and 2 of them in the classpath as it is explained in the wiki and in our user's guide. If you don't use the latest version, you won't benefit of the latest bug fixes. Maybe your bug is already fixed.

I'm really sorry but Optimus is a real source of trouble. The only thing we can do consists in ensuring that it works with "all" chips but if the used GPU change at runtime, it becomes ... complicated. I used the Nouveau driver with another Nvidia graphics card and it worked.

Edit. Several bugs have been fixed concerning Sandy Bridge since the publication of JOGL 2.0 RC11. Please use the very latest version of JOGL 2.0.
